來!讓我們專一的信靠神吧!-12月15日

「當將你的事交託耶和華,並信靠祂,祂就必成全。」-詩篇37:5
「信靠」一辭,是舊約專特的用語,所指的是心中的倚靠,是信心初階時的一種狀態。

「信心」這辭著重於意志的運用;而「信念」則強調心思和理智的活動。「信靠」是一種心內的語詞,而「信心」和「信念」卻比較多描述所信的真理,與所期望的事物。

「信靠」所隱含的意義其實不只如此。它看見,它感受,它也依靠著一個活生生的人位,並一個實際、永活的愛。

所以,讓我們來「信靠祂」吧,即使環境一波三折,即使困難重重、霧海茫茫,即使無法明白前頭道路,卻仍然「信靠祂,祂就必成全」。

道路將會開通,正義終得伸張,平安必然降臨,烏雲自會散去,永恆的白日終會晴空閃耀。

"Trust also in him" (Ps. 37:3).
The word trust is the heart word of faith. It is the Old Testament word, the word given to the early and infant stage of faith. The word faith expresses more the act of the will, the word belief the act of the mind or intellect, but trust is the language of the heart. The other has reference more to a truth believed or a thing expected.

Trust implies more than this, it sees and feels, and leans upon a person, a great, true, living heart of love. So let us "trust also in him," through all the delays, in spite of all the difficulties, in the face of all the denials, notwithstanding all the seemings, even when we cannot understand the way, and know not the issue; still "trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass." The way will open, the right issue will come, the end will be peace, the cloud will be lifted, and the light of an eternal noonday shall shine at last.
